How many times has Scotland gained it’s freedom?
Has Wales ever been free?
Scotland has NEVER been permanently conquered by an invader. England failed between 1018 and 1640 with its attempts at conquest and offered Scotland the opportunity to join the UK in 1707.
Scotland has also seen off Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Viking and Danish attempts at permanent conquest respectively between the 1st century AD and 1263.
Wales was conquered by the English in 1284.
